We have had many wonderful healings...

From the June 1947 issue of The Christian Science Journal


We have had many wonderful healings through the study and application of Christian Science. However, the following has always stood out in my thought, because it emphasizes the powerful healing effect of the expression of gratitude.

Several years ago, when we had just moved from a small suburb in the Middle West to a large city, my husband became suddenly ill with severe head pains. We were both comparatively young students of Christian Science, and when the condition did not yield through our own application of the truths we knew, I telephoned for help to a practitioner in the town from which we had just moved. However, when the pain did not cease but instead grew worse, we both became rather frightened, since heretofore whenever help was asked for in Christian Science immediate relief had always been received, and very often instantaneous healing.

After about four miserable days and sleepless nights, my husband became delirious, and the suggestion of brain fever resented itself to me, together with the dreaded thought that if he should pass on, his parents, who were living in the East, would never forgive me for not having called a doctor.
